Is God Calling You?

  • There are many reasons why not to answer a call from God... but are any of them good ones? If God is calling, it doesn't matter who we are or what we've done, all that matters is that we have the courage to say yes.

    As a person who is gay, dealing with several illnesses with a couple of them causing chronic pain, and who left the Christian faith to identify as a Secular Humanist, this video touches me as someone in the midst of my pain feels a call to serving life and God.

      You are loved into being, and loved every day of your life. Sometimes (most times) you might not hear that from His Church enough, but YOU ARE awesomely loved and made in the image and likeness of THE AWESOME ONE who never makes mistakes! I'll possibly get in to trouble about this... but actually I don't care: you - a multi-layered, fascinating, patchwork masterpiece of God's creation, one part of which is your sexuality - can swim through the tirade of abuse, and feeling of unwelcome, the exclusion (spoken and unspoken) that so many Christians shower down and STILL seek to serve God, and seek after God's heart, and feel God's love for you be so so so assured that His love for you is pretty awesomely amazing and His call on your life will complete your life and bless our broken wounded world mightily. Be blessed brother

    • @giupinkfairy
      @giupinkfairy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Jesus always preached about tolerance and love. I believe it's not about your sexuality (which I'm sure you didn't even choose) but how much you love and help others. And I'm sure God can see through your heart and only care about that. May God bless you with a very happy life.

      The Catholic religion is a false end time religion. How can you believe that pope. He literally tells us having a personal relationship with Jesus is dangerous? No he is Anti Christ and that is what is dangerous. Can you see the evil on his eyes? I sure can. If you watch the video of him letting the bird go you'll see the sign. Do not do it.

    • @MajorPayne175

      That's not of GOD, only a true relationship with CHRIST with no middle man will save your soul. Do not be deceived Sister. I pray that the HOLY SPIRIT brings you conviction and leads you to the truth of JESUS CHRIST. You do not need a middle man, go straight to the throne of our HOLY GOD, JEHOVA, LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, CREATOR OF EVERYTHING. Repent from your sins, ask GOD to give you clarity that religion does not please GOD, faith does, faith in the one and only savior JESUS CHRIST a personal relationship with him without the need of bells and whistles, or a middle man. He doesn't care about your rituals, he is risen, he is no longer on the cross. He wants true repentance of sin and surrender of mind, body and soul. He wants to spend time with you, so he can reveal to you where you really belong in the BODY OF CHRIST. Do not be fooled sister, no one can pray for you once you're dead and there is no purgatory. The only one that can intercede for you in the heavens or the earth is JESUS himself. Your "father" is no holier than what you can become once you spend time with GOD and enter into his presence. Praise be to ALMIGHTY GOD AND JESUS THE LORD AND SAVIOR OF OUR LIVES.

I am not so well educated or qualified for this service to God but I know in my heart that he calls me and I can do all things he ask me to do... So why not !? Please do pray for me everyone here! That I may join a seminary as my education is really messed up though, God uses me in artistic ways as I can sing, play guitar, draw, paint , will stand up for Jesus even when no one will. I feel this enormous grace showering upon me these last past days it's been really beautiful as it used to be when I accepted Christ as my saviour in 2014 March during Retreat in Delhi. I am excited about these coming days as I can see a spark in me to burn and consume ready to set 🔥 fire in this whole world as saint Catherine said it. Jesus is so Awesome that I can sing for him and speak for him every moment!! Keep on doing this good work Brother will remember you in my prayer! Thanks a lot Love you so much !! From India.

      WHATEVER you do. Please don't join the CATHOLIC ORDER. They aren't biblical, they are demonic and are part of THE NEW WORLD ORDER, THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST. Please read the BIBLE, if YOU TRUELY WANT TO FOLLOW OUR WONDERFUL CREATOR LORD GOD, then follow exactly what it says in the BIBLE. Learn to walk like JESUS did on the Earth, spreading GODS true gospel, the TRUE CHURCH is of GODS FOLLOWERS and living how JESUS did on Earth. You can find this out by reading the gospels of MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN. God CALLS his people out of the world and the Churches here on Earth, ran by men. We save SOULS by spreading THE LORDS WORD , GOD warns us in the BIBLE, not to take away or to add to his word. Please do NOT join the CATHOLIC MOVEMENT, they are EVIL and speak blasphemy of OUR SAVIOUR. JESUS CHRIST. May The LORD GOD bless you. I will NOT answer to RUDE OR NASTY people. I'm here to SPEAK GODS TRUTH.

      Luzerner, you do have plenty of time for the Lord to show you your home... that place where your heart finds peace, where your gifts are celebrated, and your "not so great" points find acceptance! Plenty of time for the Lord to show you that place you can call home with faithful friends who you are ready to share your Yes with! My advice? Give your "yes" to Jesus today - to whatever and to wherever. It's the call of Abraham, Moses, David, John the Baptist, Mary: say yes, with no idea where it is going to lead you, and let the adventure with the Lord begin! Speak and open your heart to Jesus (and give Him a chance to answer back :-)). Seek wise and generous and kind men and women of faith to walk with you... be easy on yourself... but say yes! Whatever God's call is in your life? That is the call that will bring you joy and contentment. That is the call that the Lord will bless your life with, and change the world with! And if you are already asking the question... he already has your answer!!
      "Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter:
      whoever finds one has found a treasure.
      Faithful friends are beyond price;
      no amount can balance their worth.
      Faithful friends are life-saving medicine;
      and those who fear the Lord will find them" (Sirach 6:14-16)

      I think you need to think with your heart instead of your head. Pray to God for guidance, for help. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the tools to understand. When God calls it "burns" your soul, it's a call you can't renounce, and that's what every nun I've talked to have told me. I hope you're very happy in your path.

    I have watched many of your videos since I discovered this channel last week. This one may be your best. I understand and applaud the goal in many of your videos, including the final line in this one, to encourage people to explore religious life. But, your message that people are called in different ways to serve is an important one. Everyone can do a better job to serve God and world through his or her work and way of life. There is a Supreme Court case from the 1960s where the Court was trying to define pornography that was outside the protection of the First Amendment. Justice Potter Stewart, much to the ridicule of many legal scholars, wrote: “I know it when I see it.” Finding the right way for you to serve is the same thing. I was fortunate that I found a profession that clicked with me and has given me great happiness over the years while doing good for society. There is no one right way and you cannot serve well if you pursue a path that does not fit or if you resist a path that does fit you. The brown robe would not have fit me just the same way that a lawyer’s pinstriped suit likely would not have fit you.

I think how each of us should pray for what we are to accomplish in this world as apostles for Christ. We all need to pray for the will of God to work through us. No matter if we are married, single, we all have an important roll as Roman Catholics, as Christians, as those selected by Christ.

      I said the same (some days I still sort of do :-)).
      We fear what we don't know. I lived a decent enough life that never gave me contentment. I was good at what I did - I was a youth minister so I could tick the box saying I was even doing God's work!
      But I'd come home in the evening and when I turned the computer off and stopped 'doing', I was left with that huge hole of "who am I?" This question is not a question of what you will do, but a question of who you are called to be - not to be different, but to be truly and honestly completely you!
      I finally said yes forever just a month ago, after fighting the Lord for thirty odd years! Is every day perfect?? Heck, no! But do I finally feel "home"? Yeah, I do. I don't feel completely me yet, but every day I feel one more piece of the puzzle has fallen in to place!
      You aren't suffering because you didn't say yes to a call 30 years ago. God loves you, in your free will and that doesn't stop because you haven't said yes to a call to consecrated life yet. He calls those who He loves, not the other way round. Nothing you can do can stop God loving you less, and nothing you can do to make Him love you any more... God is love! He's loved you into being, and he dreams a future for you were His joy in you can and will be complete!
      You aren't going to receive unequivocal assurance. I'm sure Br. Casey would say the same - I was "unequivocally assured walking up the aisle for my final vows!!! But you do have his unequivocal love... let that empower you to give your (sometimes wobbly) yes, and let Him use that to reveal His plan for you.
      Open your heart to Jesus - honestly and openly speak to Him and let Him answer you. Get to know Him in His Word! Find a brother friend: we're busy, but never too busy to share our heart with someone suffering or seeking God's call. Find one near you... Take a bite of courage and email book a coffee and let the adventure continue...
      And once more: God loves you. He is not punishing you because you didn't feel courageous enough to take the step that very few 14 year olds ever do. But the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. (Romans 11)

    Fr. Casey,
    Recently, I found myself watching your videos as a way of further reflecting my vocation to a religious life. I am already a young professional, have a stable job as a teacher, but I found something empty inside. My desire for a religious/priestly life is so strong that it seems to overpower my own doubts about my own worthiness. I am constantly praying nowadays as I found this void painful to bear. Unfortunately, finances and debts caused some delay to finally take my first strides of searching in. I thank you for giving me some sort of a "guide" to reflect and I am humbly asking your prayers that God may grant me strength and enlightenment.

But God has his ways; i lived in a place where certain souls needs to be evangelize. There are no words to described how many people i came across with that draw us closer together because of our common commitment to serve God.
    And looking back now, whenever certain situations has brought me to a place i dont want to be or certain situations that i have no control: i looked up to Christ in Adoration chapel and there he was, waiting and i have my answers.

    I _want_ God to call me, but I'm currently housebound and have no money for getting onto courses to gain qualifications. Also, I wouldn't know _how_ to recognise it as God’s call, even if He did call me for something (short of a _very_ lucid dream that I don’t immediately forget upon waking up).
    I _thought_ I was called for a life in the church, but I was let down, or betrayed by others in my local church, who were mostly older, ’phobic folk! It’s also a *Church of England* parish, but my _heart_ has recently been feeling a strong "pull" or "attraction" (for want of a better word) towards my nearest *_Catholic_* church! In my heart I _feel_ Catholic!
    As soon as I can afford a new wheelchair, I’ll be giving said Catholic church a visit, to see if they’ll let me "become" a Catholic, despite my mobility & memory issues, and whether or not my baptism & confirmation via the CoE church counts as valid!

    When I was at high school I really wanted to become an Augustinian Friar. However, I didn’t think I was good enough or clever enough. My priest tried to encourage me to join the priesthood, but he said that I would essentially become a figure of authority in people’s lives as a leader and giving them advice. And this put me off. I didn’t see myself as a leader (still don’t, decades later). It’s my greatest regret in life that I didn’t follow my calling and become a priest.

    Anybody that's called was called before this world was made, we don't choose God he chooses us. When God calls you he puts the hunger in you to seek and find him.
    Deu 4:29 But from there you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
    Jer 29:12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.
    Jer 29:13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
    Joh 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you may ask the Father in My name He may give to you.
    Joe 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
    Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
    Rom 9:11 Yet before their children had been born or had done anything good or bad (so that God's plan of election might continue to operate
    Rom 9:12 according to his calling and not by actions), Rebecca was told, "The older child will serve the younger one."
    Rom 8:28 We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are the people God chose, because that was his plan.
    Rom 8:29 God knew them before he made the world. And he decided that they would be like his Son. Then Jesus would be the firstborn of many brothers and sisters.
    Rom 8:30 God planned for them to be like his Son. He chose them and made them right with him. And after he made them right, he gave them his glory.
    Peace in Christ

    I’ve been wrestling with what seems to be a call for decades. I feel I can’t do it alone. I’m too old to join an order… I don’t trust my inclinations - I wonder if I am the cursed servant who cowardly buried his talent. Because I do have fear. In my regular life I’m pretty bold but when it comes to the faith I just don’t seem to have the support I need to go forward. There are so many folks who say they represent the faith- some of them are very off- not really defending the faith at all. I wouldn’t ever want to be/do anything like that. 😊

    • @BreakingInTheHabit
      @BreakingInTheHabit  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pablo Costa It is the preferred method in the United States and allowed by the General Instruction of the Roman Missal. Does this bother you?

    • @pablocosta8738
      @pablocosta8738 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It actually does. First, the hands of the laity are not consecrated to touch Our Lord. Second, they undergo no ablution. Third, many consecrated hosts were kept and used in sacrilegal rituals. Communion in tongue was an invention in Nordic countries in the XXth Century, and Pope Paul VI, somehow trying to avoid a rebellion, granted it as a concession for situations that were supposed to be EXCEPTIONAL. But communion in tongue is preferred and should be encouraged. Aside from this, many congratulations for your channel!

    • @BreakingInTheHabit
      @BreakingInTheHabit  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I guess I want to go a bit deeper into this. Why do one's hands need to be consecrated to touch the host? As you say, this was not the case for the first 10 centuries of the Church, and is not putting something in one's mouth and eating it a more intimate form of touch than placing it one's hands? I wonder why there is such a need for purity in this ritual when the reception of the Eucharist is itself a form of absolution from sin.

    Yes! He is. And I don't know what to do. He has taken me on a long journey through many denominations and back to the Catholic church. I walked with the conservative mennonites for five years and I learned obedience and to love everyone, and to forgive. I'm back in the church now and I stick out like a sore thumb with my long skirts and covered head. I would love to join a group of sisters, but I'm divorced, have big debt and little pay, and I'm 50. Nobody wants me. But God is calling me! I feel it in every molecule of my body! I don't know what to do. For now, I have contacted the secular franciscans in the area. I don't think they do a whole lot. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you and God bless you!

      How do you expect Him to call ya? Through dreams? A voice? The more you know Him and that He died for You, the more you will "hear", feel, see from you heart. First you can know: faith in it s origin means belief which makes us follow. Now. A quite prayer, a gentle word or just to listen to yr neighbour/next. Feel, see what He is showing you. Go through the 10 commandments and the beatitutes. See how you want to be seen and be loved... and how fast you come to an end to love yr next. Learn the struggle between yr soul and the spirit, ... The little step of faith is the same: now today in faith, no matter if it leads to an order or not. As today it may be the last day, it is worth to have Him in your heart now. Our goal is not an order, it s heaven. 👍

    I was raised in a catholic family and have recently been feeling the urge to join the church. My problem is though,that I am "transgender" and I don't know if I would fit in or be accepted in the Catholic Church. I am actually a eunuch and I identify as such,but most people perceive me as a trans female. I love God with all my heart and I would love be a part of his church and serve in someway. I am terrified to walk into a church because of what people might say and I'm afraid of being rejected. I don't know if I should just practice my faith on my own so as not to make others uncomfortable or attempt to join the church. Any advice that you could give would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Love your vids. God bless you.

      I think if you love God and want to be a part of God's community in the Catholic Church, then you should do it. Our community should be open enough to welcoming you and you should be feel welcome enough to know that it's just as much your Church as anyone else's. There is a lot of misunderstandings related to transgender people, and maybe we could all benefit from your presence!
